Q.

Will I need a chancel liability search? I am purchasing a Northolt house close to a 1600s vicarage.

A.

In Northolt, some owners can be required to fund upkeep of a church in the area. Terms used in a property's name, like 'priory', may indicate chancel liability. The solicitor performing your conveyancing will be able to advise as to whether a chancel search is necessary. Northolt ecclesiastical properties where a chancel search may be necessary include St Hugh, St Joseph the Worker, St Mary and St Richard.

Q.

What makes Northolt property legal work for a purchase to take months to complete?

Q.

I am buying a home in Hampstead. Is a chancel search needed?

A.

A solicitor may suggest a chancel search. Chancel repair can be imposed on the owners of a building where parish councils have not imposed the same liability on the last owners. For property in the parish of Hampstead, it is not safe to rely on the historical behaviour of the parish council alone as a guide.

Q.

Which elements are key to arrange fast conveyancing?

A.

Key to a fast transaction is to instruct a experienced solicitor. Consider the following when selecting:
